RE: Note shifting with multiple voices

[Nick Payne]

After a bit of fiddling, this gives pretty much the desired output:

\version "2.12.2"

\relative c'' {
    << {
        d8. e16 \once \override Dots #'extra-offset = #'(0 . 0.5) c8. d16
b8. c16 
                \once \override Dots #'extra-offset = #'(0 . 0.5) a8. b16 
    } \\ {
        c8[ b] \once \override NoteColumn #'force-hshift = #1.5 b a a[ g] 
                \once \override NoteColumn #'force-hshift = #1.5 g f
    }
    >>
}
